As someone who has worn glasses daily for most of my life, I’m happy to report things have changed a lot in the 20+ years since I was fitted for my first pair in my optometrist’s office. Thanks to online retailers, purchasing a new pair of glasses is much more convenient – not to mention more affordable.
